 ~ Alex ~  

The next day, I go over to Tyler’s and  finish up a song with him and post it on my channel. My channel is doing pretty well so far, and for this song, I filmed Tyler playing guitar, and that caught people’s attention.  

When I got home, I decided to see how the video was doing, and read the comments. 

 Over half of the comments so far were about wether or not Tyler and I are together.

I would say that we are, but we aren’t. 

I sigh, and close my laptop, and try to not think of Tyler. 

My phone buzzed, and it was Dylan. Great, now this will help me not think of Tyler. 

D: Hey 

 A: Hi 

 D: You wanna hang out tomorrow after school? 

 A: Sure

 D: My house or yours? 

 A: Is mine ok?

 D: Ya :) 

A: K cya tomorrow

 D: Cya 

I smile, knowing that tomorrow afternoon I can forget about Tyler. It gets late and I get ready for bed and eventually fall asleep. 

                                           ~~~~~~~~

“ So how was your day?” Dylan asks, smiling at me while holding my hand as we walk to his car. 

“ It was g-” 

I see Tyler staring at us, almost confused. 

 “ Hey Tyler-” 

“ Don’t we always go home together?” 

 “ Um ya, but Dylan’s coming over today.” 

 “ Oh.” 

 “ Ya.” 

 Well this is awkward...

 Dylan and then continue to walk to the car, and I look back at Tyler, and see him getting into his car.  

The afternoon went by pretty normally, and Dylan went home for dinner.  

Before dinner, I got a text from Tyler. Ugh, just what I needed, and right after Dylan left. 

T: Hi

 A: Hey

 T: Sorry about 2day...

 A: It’s k

 T: I’m just not used to seeing you with another guy...

 A: I understand

 T: I see that your new video is doing well :) 

 A: Ya :) 

 T: I’m proud of how far you have come in just this little amount of time :) 

 A: Thanks 

T: Gotta go. Dinner’s ready

A: Same here bye

T: Bye

~ Tyler ~ 

 Weeks have gone by, and I seem to be hanging out with Alex less and less. The thought of that makes me want to punch a wall. Literally. 

 I admit it, I am jealous. And maybe a little too jealous. 

It’s a Saturday, and I call Alex to remind her about us filming a video for a new song. 

“ Hi Alex.” 

“ Hi.” 

 “ You ready to film today?”  

“ Oh about that, I made plans with Dylan... Sorry.”  

I wanted to be nice and reschedule, but this has happened too many times now.

 “ Sorry? Alex we planned this filming day a week ago!” 

 “ Tyler...” 

“ Alex if you really want to do this, then you gotta stick to the plan.” 

 “ I know...” 

 “ If you know, then why are you telling me that you have plans with Dylan today?” 

 “ Tyler why are you acting like this? It’s not you...” 

 “ I know it’s not me, but I have had it with you lately.”

 “ What do you mean?” 

 “ You have been missing filming and recording days for weeks now because you have made plans with Dylan.”  

“ Tyler I’m sorry...” 

 “ Well Alex this time isn’t going to slide with me. You need to make a decision.” 

 “ You are telling me that I need to choose between music and Dylan?” 

 I wish she said between me and Dylan, but I know that she doesn’t have feelings for me, so that’s out of the question. 

 “ Yes I am.” 

 “ Tyler! You can’t do that!” 

 “ Well I am. So choose. Tell me right now.” 

“ Tyler...”  

“ Alex common. What do you really want to do?”  

I heard her sigh on the other line.

“ I need to go. Bye Tyler.” 

 The line cut, and I ended the call, and threw my phone on my bed. 

 Ugh! I wanted to scream. 

I feel like this isn’t going to get any better.
